Everyone “knows” cigarette smoking is a lung health hazard. There has been some decline in cigarette smoking in the USA, but with all the known health issues associated with cigarette smoking, it seemed there should be almost no new domestic smokers at all.

But the power of advertising has prevailed, even more so in third world countries with less restrictions on cigarette advertising. There is even a backlash to restrictions on smoking in public or private enclosed spaces, despite proof that “second-hand” smoke is hazardous to breathe.

But Is It the Tobacco Plant, or Something Else?

Indigenous groups in remote areas and American Indians prior their displacement and genocide used natural tobacco without 600 chemical additives that create a virtual freebasing of nicotine, the addictive stimulant, ensuring they would be addicted to chain smoking while constantly increasing their bodies’ toxic loads.

Herbal advocate David Wolfe has noticed indigenous tribal members in the Amazon and New Guinea smoking pure tobacco in their 80s while enjoying good health. But “Better Living Through Chemistry” (formerly Dupont’s slogan) has caught on in our modern “civilized culture”.

Amazingly, the Department of Health and Human Services had approved 599 chemical additives to cigarettes by 1994. Among them are ammonia compounds to create a nicotine freebase effect. Then there are the toxic additives to the paper to make it burn evenly.

In 2010, legislation was passed in 49 states to start putting fire safe cigarettes (FSC) on
the market as all the current ones sell out. The FSC’s papers contain a toxic chemical used
in rug glue to ensure that cigarettes go out when not being puffed.

Even before all this chemical craziness, tobacco was grown commercially with phosphate fertilizers, causing tobacco plants to absorb radioactive isotopes of polonium 210. Puff by puff, those isotopes accumulate in smokers’ lungs with increased radioactive residues that have long “half-lives”.

In addition to the 600 chemicals, 45 of which are carcinogens, recent research has discovered cadmium is in cigarette smoke. Cadmium is a heavy metal with a half-life of 10 to 30 years residence in human tissue, ultimately accruing and easily surpassing toxic levels.

Exposure for non-smokers is usually restricted to industry workers dealing with zinc electroplating, welding, or battery manufacturing.

But few mention chemtrails or aerosol geoengineering exposure because most deny their existence. Deny them all you want, but the heavy metal nanoparticles usually trapped on the ground after heavy chemtrailing include, among others, barium, aluminum, and cadmium.

Taking those heavy metals in through the breathing directly affects the sensitive lung tissues and bypasses a majority of the immune system’s protective organs.

Ingested cadmium contaminated water or food winds up leaving around five percent or so of its cadmium content in your organs. But cadmium breathed in through the lungs deposits 90 percent of its content to be absorbed into organ tissues.

Avoiding Lung Contamination from Cigarettes and Chemtrails

If you’re a non-smoker, consider the second hand smoke cautionary principle to be real and not just a silly rule against smokers. Avoid enclosed areas where people smoke.

The slang term “cancer sticks” for cigarettes is truly appropriate. According to recent studies, E-cigarettes are jumping from the fire and into the frying pan. Not a solution at all with high cancer risks.

Smoking cessation drugs from Big Pharma have been associated with violent behavior. A risky psychotropic drug known as varenicline was used as a smoking cessation drug by Pfizer and sold as Chantix in the USA and Champix internationally. It has left a trail of dead bodies, literally, often in the form of suicide, and sometimes homicide.

One section of the doctors’ list of Chantix side effects warns of “Serious Neuropsychiatric Events”, with the caveat that doctors should inform patients to report to them if they are experiencing extreme depression or thinking of suicide or murder.

There have been over 1500 injury cases against Pfizer’s since an independent study had discovered malfeasance of hiding and disguising adverse events during Chantix trials. One case inolved a suit from the parents of a murder/suicide married couple. Seems like Pfizer offered a sure fire way to quit smoking – suicide.

To get off the smoking habit and simultaneously repair lung damage, consider herbalist and naturopath Dr. Richard Shulze’s approach with lobelia. He explains that lobelia is safe despite the FDA’s implications to the contrary. Shulze recommends gradually quitting by smoking one less cigarette a day and using lobelia tinctures whenever the urge to smoke exceeds one’s efforts to quit.

You can protect yourself by detoxing heavy metals often. Research heavy metal detox options online. My favorites are lots of chlorella, fresh organic cilantro, and cliniptilolite zeolite powder (not capsules or liquids). Zeolite may be the most effective for cadmium detoxification while the others are great for removing mercury and lead.
